FCST FCST080703 Optical Fiber Identifier

$182.20

The FCST080703 is a 3-in-1 handheld tool integrating non-destructive live fiber identification, an optical power meter, and a 10mW VFL. Using macro-bending technology, it identifies signal direction and modulated tones on active links without service disruption. Its all-in-one metal clamp handles various fiber diameters without swapping adapters.

  • 3-in-1 Multifunctional Tester: Integrates live fiber identification, a -50 to +26 dBm optical power meter, and a 10mW VFL in one handheld enclosure.

  • Universal 4-in-1 Metal Clamp: Accepts 250 μm bare fiber, 900 μm tight-buffered fiber, and 2.0 mm / 3.0 mm patch cords without requiring loose adapter heads.

  • Non-Intrusive Traffic Identification: Detects traffic presence, signal direction, and modulated tones (270 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz) via macro-bending without interrupting active services.

  • Integrated Optical Power Meter: Features 6 calibrated wavelengths (850 to 1625 nm) with a 2.5 mm universal port.

  • 10mW Visual Fault Locator: Includes a 650 nm red laser source supporting continuous and flashing modes for quick continuity checks and break detection.

  • Color Display & Battery Indicator: LED color screen shows real-time power levels, wavelength, and battery state, powered by 2× AA batteries.

  • Non-intrusive live fiber link tracing and traffic identification in FTTx / PON networks.

  • Visual fault locating and connector continuity checking on distribution frames.

  • Optical power level verification during fiber patch panel installation and maintenance.

  • Q: Do I need to buy or swap adapter heads for different fiber sizes?

    A: No. The built-in 4-in-1 metal clamp directly accommodates 250 μm bare fiber, 900 μm buffered fiber, as well as 2.0 mm and 3.0 mm patch cables without changing parts.

  • Q: Does this instrument allow optical power measurement of standard single cables?

    A: Yes. In addition to macro-bending live identification, it features an independent OPM port with a 2.5 mm universal connector to measure optical power from -50 to +26 dBm.

  • Q: What is the distance capability of the built-in VFL?

    A: The integrated VFL provides a 10mW output power at 650 nm, suitable for short-to-medium distance fiber continuity checks and bend/break location.

  • Q: What batteries does this unit require?

    A: It operates on 2 standard AA 1.5V alkaline batteries and includes a low-power warning indicator on the display.
